Summary

Arnold is walking to class when he sees Harold, Sid, and Stinky at the corner. They plan to moon Principal Wartz. They ask Arnold if he wants to join in, but he thinks it's not a good idea. The three tell him he just doesn't have any guts.

Wartz leaves his office and starts walking toward them. Harold, Stinky and Sid wear masks to disguise themselves. Wartz walks by and they unbuckle and unzip their jeans fully exposing their butts. Wartz puts on his glasses and is shocked. The boys run away while Wartz tries to stop them. However, they get away and Wartz takes Arnold to his office.

Arnold says he didn't do anything, but Wartz says he did see who did it. Arnold agrees. Wartz asks Arnold who did it, but Arnold won't tell because he's not a snitch. Wartz assigns Arnold detention for failure to cooperate. Arnold leaves while Wartz makes a phone call. Sid, Harold, and Stinky arrive and ask Arnold if he snitched. Arnold says he didn't, which the boys are happy about. Arnold tells them he has detention, but Stinky says he didn't even do anything.

Sid thinks about telling, but Harold says Arnold getting caught is his fault. Arnold goes through several punishments, but still refuses to tell who did it. Harold asks why Arnold didn't admit, and he says because he's not a snitch. That night Harold is sleeping but is having guilt. The next day, Wartz prepares to mark Arnold's permanent record, when suddenly Harold, Sid, & Stinky burst in admitting they were the culprits and Arnold had nothing to do with it.

Wartz lets Arnold off the hook (for now). The boys say Arnold has guts. They plan on pulling another prank and try talking Arnold into it.
